Chapter 830 Traveling through the storm (1)
If you want to reach Belgium from the UK, you must cross the Channel——
The sky is a little gray: the typhoon will land in the UK in a while, and by then no matter Shipping, air transport and even land transport may be suspended. Once they miss the window period of these few days, they will have to stay in Folkestone until the storm is over!
If this movement does not take advantage of its strong momentum, it will become another joke in the history of the European Community -
"It's over."
Severns looked at the gray sky, his mood as depressing as the weather.
He turned to look at Eliot, who was looking at the sky in concentration, but he didn't look as desperate as he did.
Of course Severs wanted to do something big, and he had a very adventurous mentality, so after going through the procedures to reduce Eurotunnel's share, he immediately stepped down from his position and switched to another company. With some means, a special committee was established on the initiative -
The internal responsibility of this committee is to keep an eye on Eliot's "labor movement" so that it does not get out of control. Its apparent responsibility is to inspect various places where possible or Cases of cyberpsychosis that have appeared have been reported to calm public opinion.
The upper limit of this position is very high: unlike a fixed position, he can directly report these matters to his superiors in any department in any place.
But the lower limit is obviously very low: if this mighty labor movement comes to an abrupt end, he will not even be as good as a small street management team leader in Folkestone
It is easy to transfer him, but it will be difficult to transfer him back in despair. Difficult.
The person in charge of the march in Bruges on the registration form was Eliot. If he had not been there at the time, who knows what the company would have done with the marchers?
[Lille: Find out what the situation is first and ask him for details. 】
After receiving the instruction, Elliott asked: "What is the specific situation? The announcement from the traffic management department shows that the traffic will not be suspended for another three days."
Severns said bitterly: "I booked business travel services from the International Partner Network, but they told me that due to safety requirements, all business travel services have been canceled by the market management department, mainly because the local business department in Bruges chose to suspend it. .
It seems that Eurotunnel has learned the lesson and reached an agreement with the people in Bruges.
The international partner network company gave us two solutions: First, they directly compensated us ten times.
Second, they transferred us to a directly accessible port on the other side, and then took land or air transportation to Bruges.
But their alternative routes will take five days to reach Bruges, and nearby ports are closed. ”
Elliot has never minded speculating on the company in the most vicious way. After this period of accumulation, he immediately reacted:
"Although the Northland Construction Group Group has taken away some resources, But Eurotunnel still controls most of the traffic on the British and French channels
They can completely ban Remove the available ports and push our arrival time to after the march in Bruges!
They know that the workers in Bruges plan to march!”
Sevens held his head: “ It must be, I just reported the situation in Bruges to the superior department and this happened.”
Alina frowned: "Wait a minute, doesn't that mean we took the initiative to expose the time and place they were going to march? We."
"Illegal marches will go directly to jail! This is Level 2 A serious crime! ”
The company will abide by the rules of the European Community, and of course they must abide by them too!
Elliot looked at the port, where there were floating freighters and sea freighters packing boxes: "In other words, business travel is no longer possible, just business travel?"
" What do you want to do? Shipping companies are even more unacceptable. You can go against Eurotunnel, they are one, and boarding the ship without permission will be thrown into the killing zone!" Elliot was silent this time, but soon his eyes began to become frightened. , looking at the sea in shock
The reason is just that Lille gave a solution:
[Lille: The sea is so spacious, who said we must take a boat? 】
Elliot's silence attracted the eyes of Severs, who looked in the direction of Elliot's eyes and saw the means of transportation that Lille said:
The waves. In the turbulent offshore waters, black tail fins can be seen splashing on the water from time to time.
He was after the fish!
Sevens's expression began to change continuously - on the one hand he found that this plan might really succeed, but on the other hand
He had never suffered like this before!
“You don’t want to”
“Now, immediately, go to the international partner network to refund the money, and warn them that ten times is not enough, the more refund the better, otherwise we will Things are going big!”
New plans are about to come out:
International Partner Network Company is a service-oriented company. The services they provide to travelers include not only transportation, but also meals, catering during the journey, and even preparing clothing and rest that suit the customer's work. Work and rest time, belongs to high-end business travel contractor.
But they are just an intermediary, providing the ultimate package solution that combines transportation resources, clothing and other physical and virtual services. They are also the favorite travel company for high-end people.
But they are not the supreme owners of the ocean -
This waterway is under the control of the European Community. Because it is relatively close to human settlements, there are indeed shipping routes, and air routes are also open. After experiencing the economic recession and the Internet crash, marine resources have been basically monopolized by three companies to varying degrees and areas:
They are the International Navigation and Oceanography Company (CINO), the Ocean Technology Company (OTEC) and the International Merchant Shipping Company (IHAG) corporate monopoly.
These three companies are also the initiators of the fourth corporate war. In any case, they eventually became the ultimate owners of many maritime resources——
Transportation resources from Folkestone to Bruges United Express is responsible for it, and International Partner Network contracts transportation resources from them, then packages them with other services and sells them to customers like Severs.
It can be said that they monopolize transportation resources in a sense and package transportation resources into high-end business travel services.
But the major shareholder of this company is CINO——
CINO's business includes biological weapons, including those intelligently controlled whales and sharks!
If unarmed, they could of course also serve as transport, allowing Elliot's team to get around that damn cross!
What’s more important: CINO was defeated by OTEC in marine technology in the fourth corporate war, and was outclassed by IHAG in mechanical vehicles. Such a thing that promotes their biology How could they refuse the opportunity of weapons?
How could you give up a potentially positive publicity opportunity because of "low-level companies" like International Partner Network and United Express?
Riding on a fish through the storm and across the strait, not to mention Severns, a pampered EC official, turned pale with fright, even the mercenary Alina was a little nervous!
But right now this is the only option:
“Let’s ride the fish!”
